Patriotism and Scoundrels

Sometimes I can't decided who I have more contempt for, Democrats or Republicans. Today I think it's the Republicans.

By a vote along party lines, the majority members of the House Budget Committee passed and reported for a vote by the House a budget resolution that would cut $844 million from veterans’ medical care next year and $9.7 billion over the next 10 years. In addition, the budget resolution would cut $15 billion from the disability compensation and other benefit programs over the next 10 years. The House leadership are pushing these cuts to offset the cost of the President’s $1.57 trillion tax reduction plan.

So, if I'm understanding this correctly...during a time of war the Republican House leaders are strippng away benefits from veterans to pay for their tax cuts for their wealthy friends.
